Funding The Ocean

The site connects the ocean community and provides centralized access to the data, resources, and tools needed to drive ocean conservation philanthropy worldwide.

ABOUT THIS WEBSITE

Many livelihoods and communities depend on the health of the ocean, not to mention the numerous marine species that call it their home, yet its health suffers from threats such as overfishing, pollution, and climate change. Despite a growing ocean conservation movement garnering attention and support from governments, philanthropists, and activists around the world, many continue to work in isolation with limited knowledge sharing. FundingtheOcean.org aims to break down knowledge barriers and democratize access to critical information needed to drive ocean conservation philanthropy worldwide.

Get Overviews of Individual Issues On an Ongoing Basis

Foundation Landscapes are issue-based web portals, developed by Foundation Center in partnership with funders and philanthropy networks, that donors use to stay informed, keep up with new ideas, and connect to broader networks. Donors also scan the landscape to reveal opportunities, needs, and gaps and see how their past, current, and future efforts fit into the broader field.

Foundation Landscapes combine funding information, data visualization tools, research, news, stories, and social media around critical issues in philanthropy. These Foundation Center web portals, developed, make the results of scanning easily accessible and are structured to be updated over time.

Always available online, Foundation Landscapes are built to be updated and to make it easy for donors to scan, share, and maintain the information systematically.
